Ah, the peace, love and tolerance! Here are some delightful sentiments that we should encourage spreading around the world! Why, oh why, are there violent religious fanatics attacking nonbelievers all over the globe?? [/sarc]

“About sixty-one percent of the contents of the Koran are found to speak ill of the unbelievers or call for their violent conquest; at best only 2.6 percent of the verses of the Koran are noted to show goodwill toward humanity. About seventy-five percent of Muhammad’s biography (Sira) consists of jihad waged on unbelievers.”

Quotes from the Quran/Koran

“God’s curse be upon the infidels! Evil is that for which they have bartered away their souls.

For the Dawood translation with the side-by-side Arabic, follow the links here:

What is a ‘kaffir?’

Kaffiris an Arabic term for a nonbeliever or “infidel.” Kuffaris the plural, “infidels”:

Also spelled ‘kafir’ or ‘kaffir’, Kuffar is a highly derogatory Arabic term used to refer to non-Muslims, though it is usually directed less against “People of the Book” (Christians and Jews) and more against others (Hindus, Buddhists, Shintoists, etc).

Separate laws govern Muslims and kuffars in an Islamic state with kuffars being viciously suppressed. For example: the blood payment to the family of a murdered Muslim man in Saudi Arabia is 1,000,000 Riyals; the payment to the family of a murdered Hindu woman is 3,333 Riyals.

“Against kuffars make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war to strike terror into the (hearts of) the Enemy of Allah and your enemy, and others beside, whom you may not know, but whom Allah does know. Whatever you shall spend in the Cause of Allah, shall be repaid to you, and you shall not be treated unjustly.” (Qur’an: 8:60)

Lest one be tempted to shout, “Out of Context!,” note that it is not we who are taking these Koranic quotes “out of context” but devout (“radical/extremist”) Muslims such as those in the “ummah” or Islamic global community who are doing so. (Note that awliyaa means “friends of Allah.”) The videos below demonstrate this infidelophobic attitude, which we can tell also from the vast bloodshed over the past 1,400 years or so of jihad against infidels.

Retrograde …The world has passed you by, Muslims. As time continues to pass, you will appear more warped to the world and the world will appear more warped to you. And, as this occurs, you will become more frightened, more angry, more controlling, which will only accelerate your decline. It is simply impossible to lasso it and pull it back to the 7th century. Reality just doesn’t work that way. Regardless of the oil wealth of some Muslim countries and today’s technology, you are hopelessly lost in a retrograde mind set and its effectiveness will continue to deteriorate. No matter how many bombs you set off or how many little girls you shoot or how much acid you throw on women or how many gay men you hang or how many Swedish women you rape or how many Beslans you commit, you will continue to spiral into an infinite regression you cannot escape. You will wake up someday and be only an anachronism, an anomaly in time. The world will have escaped your gravity and you will be nothing. You will not exist as relevant beings on the Earth. The oil will end and you will be thrown back in time more violently than you can imagine. Your wealth will disappear, your influence will evaporate, your ability to frighten and intimidate, injure and murder will be gone. The only reason we put up with you now is the oil. Once it’s gone, you’re gone. And, the Earth will be a better place for it.

Whoever does wrong is wrong Muslim or Non-Muslim. What you mention is not teaching of Islam. Before blaming you need to understand what Islam teaches. If you have question, just ask before blaming Islam because of some ignorant.

I have read the Quran and pretty much everything said here is nonsense. Just to mention a few (although I could go on for a long time)
1 Saudi Arabia is NOT an example of a Muslim country at all. They are know Wahabi’s or Takfiri’s (they call themselves Salafi’s) They believe the same thing as ISIS
2 Christians and Jews are NOT EVER considered Kuffaar (<- plural of kaafir) This is no debate, it is the Arabic language.

Take this quote for example: “I shall cast terror into the hearts of the infidels. Strike off their heads, strike off the very tips of their fingers.” Quran 8:12

It’s right there in the Koran. Sure, some translations may say “slice” instead of “strike” or something like that, but the idea is there and it’s repeated again and again. And please, no “that’s out of context” garbage.

Islam is a filthy religion. Most all are filthy but Islam is at the pinnacle.

I rejected my faith twice in search of truth. I profoundly studied sciences and theology from past to these days. I found that greatest scientist and philosophers have denied the pseudo pagan or idolatry belief of religion whether it is found in complex Hinduism, Christianity, or any other religion. As you have mentioned above the verses have finest explanation directly concerned with “time” “Value” and ” situation”. it does not simply say to be unfriend with unbelievers. it has profound explanation that you should know a man of sense. you should know that the verses says in another point about Jews and christian and others. Stop spreading non-sense hate and violence against Muslims. become natural, wise and stand in the house of truth from the bottom of your heart after studying the facts in all religious scriptures. You will not understand the truth until you have will to know the absolute truth. Study much and finally depend on your own heart to realize truth.truth is always truth and there is no less or more. remember truth is found in only deeper part of heart not through argumentation. we need to apply basic human logic and logic of nature and then eagerly look for truth by deepest part of heart. Thank you. God Bless you.

You talk about the truth but still deny the truth . The truth is that islam was and is a mental tool for Arabs to subjugate and destroy other cultures religions and faith with violence and sword. The history of Islam is only the story of war and crime against humanity
So don’t try to mask a predator to show a holy saint . The proof is this article with the verses that have inspired all the conquerors to attack and destroy peaceful neighbors . So you should not lie .Taqia is not possible anymore.

thats what happens when read a book from in between. And yeah islam isn’t the doing of the Muslims of today. Don’t judge Islam on the actions of a Muslim. Remember Muslims too are people. 🙂 ofcourse you do have your argument , but wouldn’t it be better to clarify than to assume things.?

Mr aziz we are ready to understand ur point of view but why u people not rise against terrorism by muslims in Kashmir ,pak or other muslim majority country why u not speak against it .in world only islam is against the humanity as u see.latet news n drama by pak govt 1st kill Christian on easter day n then order 3 days grief drama why

Oh really now it’s not in there !?
Yeah it is. this is in your book.
Your religion is not the religion of piece!
Why can you all not just try to get alone with everyone no matter what their religion is? It’s not hard!

NOWHERE in the Holy Bible are Christians told to decapitate, burn alive or murder in any way a person who will not follow Christ. Rather, we are repeatedly told to love them, to continue to witness to them and to pray for them to turn to Jesus unabiding love.

Deuteronomy 13:6-10 “If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers; Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you … Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him: But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people. And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die.”

Believe in Jesus or be condemned:

John 3:16-18 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”

1 John 4:2-3 Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God.

Believe in Jesus or be denied:

Matthew 10:33: (RSV) “but whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven”

Non-believers are all considered anti-christs!:

2 John 7: “For many deceivers have gone out into the world, men who will not acknowledge the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.”

Why the need for the Epistles of John to claim that those who don’t believe in Jesus are not of God or that they are “deceivers” and “antichrists”? That’s just plain old fashioned discrimination and a tactic used to force submission and turn everybody else into 2nd class citizens. If Jesus really existed there would be no need for any such discrimination. Shouldn’t people, especially Christians, be asking, “Who were those people who “confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh” and why?

The burning of unbelievers during the Inquisition was based on the words of Jesus:

John 15:6 “If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.”

Burnings are described several times in the Bible, including Acts 19:19, 1 Maccabees 1:56 and Jeremiah 36:27 and here are 73 more verses mentioning fire.

They are without God:

2 John 9 “Whosoever … abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God.”

Psalm 14:1 and 53:1: “The fool says in his heart, ‘There is no god.’ They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds, there is none that does good.

Non-believers should be shunned. Neither marry nor be friends with them:

2 Corinthians 6:14-17 “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? … Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord.”

Revelation 20:15 “And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”

You just took every single one of those verses out of context lol. The Christian’s view on nonbelievers is that we are called to be fishers of men and proclaim the good news to them so that they can have what we have. Of course you just nitpicked around the parts where it says to love others and to preach the gospel to all the nations. Or where Jesus eats with prostitutes and tax collectors and people of low social status.

I could go on with a theological discourse on the passages quoted but, I will simply point out that they are there. The Bible does teach that there is a time of judgment coming upon those who reject the Savior (Jesus Christ). I would however point out that it is not God’s will that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. Having said that, I would add that believers are not told to kill unbelievers but, they are rather to be messengers delivering the gospel to a lost and dying world. If the gospel is rejected there is coming a judgment but, it will be by God’s hand not ours. There is also a scripture that states “It is appointed unto man once top die and after this the judgment”

You seriously believe Islam is on its way out?
On the contrary, Islam is the one world religion spoken of during the days of the Antichrist. If the time has not yet come for that event (which no man knows the day or hour) we can all agree that Islam fits the description to a tee. And we are at least one day closer.

From Allah we come and to him we shall return. We will all see on the day of Judgment. Allah has a plan and he is the best of planners. No matter how hard one tries to bad talk, disregard, and eliminate, Islam is here.

Thanks for your wise comments. I feel it’s totally insane where a man called Mohammed comes out of the cave, and claims to have been told by the angel Gabriel that he is the messenger of God and he forms this gang and goes around robbing stealing murdering and forcibly converting people. Humans or rather some humans are so stupid they believe anything they’re told, and and are so easily brainwashed to do all kinds of horrible things, in the name of what they believe. That’s what Islam is it’s a made-up religion like all the other religions, except it’s extremely sick, and destructive and anti Human.

Muhammad(pbuh) did not inforce islam on anyone instead people came towards him and islam because it was a good, just and righteous religion. It talked about human rights and praying to Allah to give us guidence and strength. He and his followers were prosecuted and made to lie on burning coal, showered with stones , etc. but there still kind attitude towards everyone was what encouraged the people to accept islam. Islam is the religion of peace not voilence.

This is what’s in the qur’an, all tbese are hate commands. Sura 4 talks about women has to how valueless you are. But you go ahead and pritect a false book that treats you like a dog. You need 4 male witnesses to prove you were raped, that’s really loving and trusting of a woman. Sad you protect a man who’s true history you know nothing about. But if you want facts, they can be found Just read the hadiths.

Mohamed was victorious through terror. From Medina to Mecca was a part of mohamed’s life where he was robbing their supply caravans until they let him into mecca…n then when he rallied forces after crying persecution, he drove the meccans out of their own city. He was a warlord. he tried to commit suicide because he thought his dreams were from demons. There is a lot of interesting stuff in those books. 🙂

I am an Indian citizen belonging to the female gender. I read the whole Koran with much hope of finding words of beauty and wisdom. What I encountered was mostly(with a few exceptions) words of hatred and misogyny. I thus realized the true reason behind the violence in the Muslim world. It is not their fault. They have been misled by a wrong ideology. Born in a Christian family, I am familiar with both old testament and new testament. While old testament contains some passages endorsing violence(not to the same extent as in Koran),Christ’s message is about love,kindness and forgiveness. Christ’s mission was to correct wrong ideologies and beliefs and it is in the new testament a true Christian should build her ideology on. Unfortunately I see many extreme Christians resorting to the Jewish religious verses (old testament) to spread messages which are contradictory to Christ’s ideology of love,the love which is beyond human-made divisions.

Quran [7:28] Say, “God does not command indecency. Are you attributing to God what you do not know?”

All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.

Quran [2:256] There shall be no compulsion in religion; the right way has become distinct from the wrong way.
Quran [109:6] “You have your religion and I have mine”
Quran [10:99] Had your Lord willed, everyone on earth would have believed. Will you compel people to become believers?
Quran [18:29] And say, “The truth is from your Lord. Whoever wills-let him believe.
Quran [88:21] So remind. You are only a reminder.
Quran [88:22] You have no control over them.

•Allah (SWT) has systematized Moslims relations with non Moslims;
Quran 60:7 Perhaps God will plant affection between you and those of them you consider enemies. God is Capable. God is Forgiving and Merciful.
Quran 60:8 As for those who have not fought against you for your religion, nor expelled you from your homes, God does not prohibit you from dealing with them kindly and equitably. God loves the equitable.
Quran 60:9 But God prohibits you from befriending those who fought against you over your religion, and expelled you from your homes, and aided in your expulsion. Whoever takes them for friends-these are the wrongdoers.

Quran 7:55 Call upon your Lord humbly and privately. He does not love the aggressors.
Quran 7:56 And do not corrupt on earth after its reformation, and pray to Him with fear and hope. God’s mercy is close to the doers of good.

Quran [45:14] Tell those who believe to forgive those who do not hope for the Days of God. He will fully recompense people for whatever they have earned.
Quran [45:15] Whoever does a good deed, it is for his soul; and whoever commits evil, it is against it; then to your Lord you will be returned.

Quran 16:125 Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good advice, and debate with them in the most dignified manner. Your Lord is aware of those who stray from His path, and He is aware of those who are guided.
Quran 16:126 If you were to retaliate, retaliate to the same degree as the injury done to you. But if you resort to patience-it is better for the patient.
Quran 16:127 So be patient. Your patience is solely from God. And do not grieve over them, and do not be stressed by their schemes.
Quran 16:128 God is with those who are righteous and those who are virtuous.

Quran [5:32] Because of that We ordained for the Children of Israel: that whoever kills a person-unless it is for murder or corruption on earth-it is as if he killed the whole of mankind; and whoever saves it, it is as if he saved the whole of mankind. Our messengers came to them with clarifications, but even after that, many of them continue to commit excesses in the land.

Quran 7:33 Say, “My Lord has forbidden immoralities-both open and secret-and sin, and unjustified aggression, and that you associate with God anything for which He revealed no sanction, and that you say about God what you do not know.”

Quran 2:190 And fight in the cause of God those who fight you, but do not commit aggression; God does not love the aggressors.
Quran 2:191 And kill them wherever you overtake them, and expel them from where they had expelled you. Oppression is more serious than murder. But do not fight them at the Sacred Mosque, unless they fight you there. If they fight you, then kill them. Such is the retribution of the disbelievers.
Quran 2:192 But if they cease, then God is Forgiving and Merciful.
Quran 2:193 And fight them until there is no oppression, and worship becomes devoted to God alone. But if they cease, then let there be no hostility except against the oppressors.

Quran 8:61 But if they incline towards peace, then incline towards it, and put your trust in God. He is the Hearer, the Knower.

Quran 9:6 And if anyone of the polytheists asks you for protection, give him protection so that he may hear the Word of God; then escort him to his place of safety. That is because they are a people who do not know.
Quran 9:7 How can there be a treaty with the polytheists on the part of God and His Messenger, except for those with whom you made a treaty at the Sacred Mosque? As long as they are upright with you, be upright with them. God loves the pious.

Quran 8:72 Those who believed, and emigrated, and struggled in God’s cause with their possessions and their persons, and those who provided shelter and support-these are allies of one another. As for those who believed, but did not emigrate, you owe them no protection, until they have emigrated. But if they ask you for help in religion, you must come to their aid, except against a people with whom you have a treaty. God is Seeing of what you do.

Quran 4:90 Except those who join people with whom you have a treaty, or those who come to you reluctant to fight you or fight their own people. Had God willed, He would have given them power over you, and they would have fought you. If they withdraw from you, and do not fight you, and offer you peace, then God assigns no excuse for you against them.

Quran 9:12 But if they violate their oaths after their pledge, and attack your religion, then fight the leaders of disbelief-they have no faith-so that they may desist.
Quran 9:13 Will you not fight a people who violated their oaths, and planned to exile the Messenger, and initiated hostilities against you? Do you fear them? It is God you should fear, if you are believers.
Quran 9:14 Fight them. God will punish them at your hands, and humiliate them, and help you against them, and heal the hearts of a believing people.
Quran 9:15 And He will remove the anger of their hearts. God redeems whomever He wills. God is Knowledgeable and Wise.

Quran 5:90 O you who believe! Intoxicants, gambling, idolatry, and divination are abominations of Satan’s doing. Avoid them, so that you may prosper.
Quran 5:91 Satan wants to provoke strife and hatred among you through intoxicants and gambling, and to prevent you from the remembrance of God, and from prayer. Will you not desist?

Narrated Sahl:
On the day (of the battle) of Khaibar the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Tomorrow I will give the flag to somebody who will be given victory (by Allah) and who loves Allah and His Apostle and is loved by Allah and His Apostle.” So, the people wondered all that night as to who would receive the flag and in the morning everyone hoped that he would be that person. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) asked, “Where is `Ali?” He was told that `Ali was suffering from eye-trouble, so he applied saliva to his eyes and invoked Allah to cure him. He at once got cured as if he had no ailment. The Prophet (ﷺ) gave him the flag. `Ali said, “Should I fight them till they become like us (i.e. Muslim)?” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Go to them patiently and calmly till you enter the land. Then, invite them to Islam, and inform them what is enjoined upon them, for, by Allah, if Allah gives guidance to somebody through you, it is better for you than possessing red camels.”
Reference : Sahih al-Bukhari 3009
In-book reference : Book 56, Hadith 218

Yes it is true that islam warns those who ascribe partners to Allah a grievous penalty and talks of no peace to such people. But it is also true that Allah gives such rebellious people everything they can dream on in life that they see the hereafter a distant dream.

It’s not true… U mean u didn’t come across any verse that says to kill an innocent soul is equal to killing the whe entire creation and saving one soul is equal to saving the whole entire creation.. We have Christians who kill people , people who shed blood in the name of Christianity, with Christian names.. That doesn’t mean that’s what the bible teaches.. U use words like this to step on the toes of Muslims to react.. We might be of different religions but the same God that created u created me.. I believe in peace.. U can waste ur time spreading lies about Islam.. All the best

Christians nations have killed far more people than Muslims have. Christians became wards of the state after the Nicene Creed was established. Render unto Caesar that which is Caesars…etc. War cemeteries’ throughout the world are filled with CROSSES. There should not be a single cross in any war cemetery. “If you live by the sword you will die by the sword. Islam is the sword you will die by. Christians have been duped and manipulated by Jacob’s jews and one day, Submission to the one god will end jewish reign throughout the world, god willing!

That is incorrect as Christianity has killed nearly 250 million since its creation 1,800 years ago; while Islam has killed around 270 million just in its 1,400 year history. They are both HORRENDOUS as that’s over half a BILLION killed people just in these two religions. Why on earth people say these are the “three great religions” never made any sense to me.

You only put half of each verse. Thats like me saying if someone hits you I want you to beat the out of them and then you saying I said I want you to be the shit out of them. You can’t just choose a couple of sentences and bash us for it. And you have to read the whole Surah to understand, god says to only kill in battle. So read it before you talk about it.

Ah yes, the out-of-context argument. Gee, we’ve never heard that one before! (We already addressed it in the original post, if you’d care to read it – please also watch the videos.)

I suggest you tell the millions of fanatics worldwide who themselves are taking these verses out of context to murder the “filthy kuffar” that THEY need to read the whole surah before they talk about it. These would include all those Muslim authorities in the videos attached here, which you obviously didn’t even watch.

The majority of Muslim scholars hold to the traditional view that apostasy is punishable by death or imprisonment until repentance, at least for adult men of sound mind.

Here’s a page from a letter by one of Lee Rigby’s murderers in the UK. Notice how he cites many quotes from the Quran at the end to justify his violent behavior against the filthy infidel. Please go seek out this Muslim convert and tell him that he is using these quotes out of context and that they are really just old history having nothing to do with today. I’m sure he will happy listen to you and consider you to be an old, wiser brother who knows better…not. He will undoubtedly view you as an apostate, as stated.

Using reverse psychology. Oooh shocking! LIKE “WE’VE NEVER HEARD THAT ONE BEFORE” And what makes you think you know more about a religion than a practitioner? Are you so arrogant to assume that you can single handedly interpret the entire Quran. OMG WE DON’T NEED MUSLIM SCHOLARS BECAUSE WE HAVE A BUNCH OF ATHEIST FANATICS TRYING TO TEACH US ABOUT OUR OWN RELIGION!

Who would those “atheist fanatics” be who are trying to teach you about “your” own religion? The writers of the QURANIC verses or the MUSLIM AUTHORITIES in the videos here? They’re “atheist fanatics?” I’m don’t call myself either a theist or atheist. Your remarks here reveal more about yourself than about Islam, except insofar as you have been conditioned to believe that this desert barbarian cult is “your” religion.

In the meantime, the hateful infidelphobic verses of the Quran are as stated here, and they ARE being used in many places globally to slaughter and rape nonbelievers as well as fellow Muslims considered “apostates” or “kuffar.” Your disingenuous protests will be of little help to the people of Nigeria, Syria, Iraq and so many other places. In fact, your hostile remarks only confirm that Islam teaches abject infidelophobia. Yes, of course, the filthy kuffar couldn’t possibly comprehend the religion of Allah!

The point is that we are all HUMAN BEINGS and these crappy CULTS create vicious divisions between PEOPLE, as you have exemplified here. You could just go beyond this awful belief system that assuredly is not yours, since it was created some 1,400 years ago, and join humanity instead of hating all non-Muslims and “atheist fanatics.”

Well there’s so many school of thoughts and there’s so many interpretation of quran. The versus that talk of the punishment are for those who make fun of God and his prophet(believes) and spread anarchy, kill, rape, murder etc( act). And it applies to both Muslim and non Muslims. So although the Muslims would tick all the boxes for believe part it’s the act part that may get them in trouble (if they do any of these acts obviously).
So to be a pious person u have to do both, believe and act good. And obviously those who don’t would get punished in the hereafter….simple 🙂

In 900AD the Arab world was the center of higher learning and thought. Arab scholars developed algebra and the developed the decimal piont. IBEN Betuta traveled the world from Morocco to China. What happend?

Algebra is an Arabic name, but it doesn’t mean they invented algebra. The Arabs conquered countries like Persia Egypt and Constantible, etc where they had a large amount of scientific thought. Secondly the Arabic numerical system originally comes India. The idea of zero did come from India, but is possible the sumarians and Mayans had it before. Much of the foundations of the word algebra comes from Al KwharIzimi Who was Persian and considered the founder of algebra and most likely the inventor of algebra. The Arabs conquered Persia. Also he probably wasn’t a Muslim he was likely a worshiper of Zorastrism a probably spelled that wrong. Giving credit to another group discredits the enlightenment of civilizations like Persia.

Well answer isn’t exactly right the Arabic numbers actually came from India. Although the concept of Zero was thought of by the Sumerians far before that. The Arabs had conquered vast civilizations like Egypt, Constantinople, and Persia, which were highly enlightened civilizations. In Europe Al-Khwarizimi is often considered the modern founder and inventor of algebra, he was Persian and was likely a follower of Zoroastrianism. Evidence also points to the roots from being Babylonians,China, and most important India. The Greek Diophanutus often considered the father of the study, helped write many books on solving algebraic equations. Also Fibonacci and Viete is where we typically get modern algebra. In fact here is an article the explains it all http://gatesofvienna.net/2013/08/how-muslims-did-not-invent-algebra/

I am actually a fan of many Muslim scholars, but I wouldn’t give them all the credit for Algebra and other scholarly, In fact it generally doesn’t matter we are all human, whether the advances came from Muslims or Christians is not the point.

The Muslim holy book the Quran, says in Surah 5 verse 32 “if anyone saves a life, it shall be as though he had saved the lives of all mankind.”

Brother moorthy mutthuswamy QURAN E KAREEM came to our BELOVED PROPHET(PBUH and his family and companions)not as a BOOK but as a GUIDANCE to all humanity. It took a total of 23 years QURAN E KAREEM to be revealed.

The 23 years is not explained in the Qur’an, but it was passed down by chain of narration. But there is a verse in the Qur’an talking about the different time periods:

Isra’ {17:106}
“And it is a Quran which We have revealed in portions (from time to time) so that you may read it to the people by slow degrees, and We have revealed it, revealing in portions.”

So brother this is a humble request not to shade QURAN E MASJID in a wrong way you have more questions to ask and you need any more clarification sure you can ask.

Thank you, but one “nice” verse – which we could shout is “OUT OF CONTEXT!” – does not negate the other 61% or so of the hate speech in the Quran or the vicious violence against nonbelievers globally by devout Muslim fanatics for the past 1,400 years.

So, brother, this is a humble request that you go tell your fellow religionists to stop attacking, enslaving, raping and slaughtering non-Muslims all over the world. Once you have done that, then we can talk.

Gee, it’s not the fastest growing religion. It’s the fastest dying, as millions are leaving it at every opportunity. Women who freely join Islam are suffering from mental problems, including extreme ignorance.

I would be careful with what you said. Islam is actually the fastest growing religion. The quicker we are to understand this fact, the more able we are to do something about it. TO sustain culture, you need to have a birth rate of about 2.1 kids per family. Most countries in the world are lacking that including America which is at I beleive a 1.6 or 1.8 birth rate. Europe is even worse coming in at around 1.4. When you look at families that are Islamic though, you get a birth rate of in the 8’s. This is most cetainly a problem and shows us that in fact, it is the fastest growing religion and if kept unchecked, will outsustain all culture around the world. Islam will be the culture. So while I agree with a lot of things you have said (I’m Christian so no, I whole heartedly don’t agree with many thigns you have said), I cant agree with the statement that it is dying because it is most certainly not dying. It is rampantly spreading and without being stopped, it will integrate into culture until it becomes the culture.

You are really talking out of ignorance and it’s hard explaining things to you as you sound so frustrated..we are not in the era of applying assumptions in what you ddnt understand, whatever was mentioned above everything are as clear as wine so stop wasting your time on criticizing things u have no knowledge about as it only shows how ignorant u are.

fastest dying indeed…to Joshua down here,don’t worry about the their high birth rate and the like since it will soon be countered by the effects of their interbreeding/inbreeding. Also, muslims who are not the products of “incest” abandon islam altogether and remain silent for fear of the obvious when taken through logical scrutiny of the quaran.This does not mean we should just sit and watch as they kill us!

Chiefly because Muslims are having more children than anyone else. There are converts of course, but the greater birthrates are the main reason that Islam is the “fastest growing religion in the world”.

Wonderful. I personally know an islamic man who’s got 18 kids. They like to have sex more than normal people. That’s why their women are always fully covered in a wrap. Men tend to get a hard on only by seeing them face or hair.

A quick search reveals that Acharya was correct that Islam has a lot of births but the religion is dying out fast. These are not the best links but, they are a starting point for others to search for themselves.

Ha fastest growing hey! You mean Women that have been kidnapped as girls or married off as girls too young too have a choice when raped by a dozen men against her will and threatened with death if they left, brain washing at its finest where a male can take up to six women and force breeding where clitoris are cut off so only men can enjoy themselves where all the women are taught oppressive behaviours to constantly feel shame for their gender and obedience to a male, yeah all your women were voluntary to your cause, fear and torture and brain washing had nothing to do with it you pig.

Dear Sister,
We all are brothers and sisters since we are the children of Adam peace be upon him. So let us all not breed animosity between or among any group or religious affiliations. We need to develop a attitude of tolerance for each other. A believer is a believer in the sight of the creator and a unbeliever is s a unbeliever in the sight of the creator. So if you develop a attitude of hatredness in your heart for a group then that means you are really a unbeliever and that you require guidance and psychiatric treatment. I fortunately do not have any hatredness towards any human being. But all said, if anyone comes to destroy me, he automatically becomes my enemy.
Hope you understand everything clearly

you can ask for guidance and i shall be willing to guide you to become a better human being with true love for all mankind.

No, surah 5:32 does NOT say that, as you well know. As you are fully aware, it says;
“Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land – it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one – it is as if he had saved mankind entirely. And our messengers had certainly come to them with clear proofs. Then indeed many of them, [even] after that, throughout the land, were transgressors.”

It is part of an antisemitic rant where Muhammad says the ancestor of the Jews killed the ancestor of the Arabs because his sacrifice was not accepted by Alla due to his unrighteousness.

This stuff doesn’t work anymore, we know the contexts, we know the aims of jihad. We just don’t fall for this crap.

This is nowhere in Quran.
“It is part of an antisemitic rant where Muhammad says the ancestor of the Jews killed the ancestor of the Arabs because his sacrifice was not accepted by Alla due to his unrighteousness.”

Yet another Muslim idiot. He didn’t say that was in the Koran, you fool. He’s summarizing surah 5:32 – you need some reading comprehension, obviously, but that’s why you follow such a disgusting cult with such a vile “holy text.”

“..to stop attacking, enslaving, raping and slaughtering non-Muslims all over the world..” I didn’t know Muslims were all over the world just for the sheer purpose of “attacking, enslaving, raping and slaughtering non-Muslims”. When a christian immigrant goes to the U.S it’s because he wants a bright future for his family but when a Muslim immigrant moves to the U.S with his family it’s to terrorize people. You’re fools. Ignorant ones at that. And it’s not Muslims that are advocating hate here. It’s people like you that are advocating hate against Muslims. But of course Media wouldn’t see it that way 🙂

No one said all Muslims are behaving badly – that’s a strawman. Stop pretending as if you don’t know what’s going on and how Islam is provoking violence and infidel-hatred all over the world. It’s really tiresome and disgracefully dishonest. All you are doing is confirming that Islamic fanaticism makes its devotees hate people.

I have read the read many religious texts from many faiths that include Old Testament, New Testament, Koran, Hadith, Surah, Torah, Tripitaka, Taode jing, Zhuangzi, Gita, Vedas, Avesta, Adi Granth, and various apocrypha. I can honestly say that of all these texts the Muslim ones contain the most entries for killing those not of their faith and the greatest number of passages describing how to kill and/or mutilate transgressors within the faith.
The reality is that the Muslim faith, unlike any other faith, has failed to evolve with the times and continues to hold onto it’s 8th century mentality and a significant number of people in the faith use it to perpetrate horrific things against their fellow man. Almost all world religions have had a history of war and violence but Islam is the only faith today that continues down this path as evidenced by the plethora of news articles weekly from all over the world of fanatics killing one or more people in the name of Allah/Muhammad and quoting Islamic text as justification.

I grew up in a family that wasn’t very religious, which left me with the need to find my faith. Ultimately my journey led me to subscribe to no organized faith, and I have learned to worship my God in my way, so am not biased by the teachings of any specific religion and base my view of Islam on what I have read in it’s books, in the news, or hear about on a day to day bases. If the Islamic community truly is about peace then why are there no large Muslim Peace advocacy groups or any groups that publicly decry the actions of these “radicals”?

since now you understand that the media has opened war on islam and spreading misconceptions , and that you wintnessed how millions of innocent muslims have been killed in Irak , Afghanistan , and Liban, Bosnia,Palestine;and many others country and this same Media does not condemn them why? there are black sheep in every community ,but so much atrocity and violations and terrorisme that explain _not justify the actions of who you call them “radicals”

Full and honest text–
Quran 5:32 “Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land – it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one – it is as if he had saved mankind entirely. And our messengers had certainly come to them with clear proofs. Then indeed many of them, [even] after that, throughout the land, were transgressors.”

We see that this is directed to the Jews, NOT Muslims; it is in fact lifted verbatim from the Talmud. The next verse clearly shows Islam in all its tolerance toward the infidel–

Quran 5:33 “Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment.”

It does not mean that what God said to Jews is not valid now. His words stay true forever. Mentioning these words in Quran means these are to be followed by the folowers of Quran. If some are not following they are wrong not the message of Quran.

relegion is somthng no matter how much u give proof der are people who wont just coz dey dnt wana bt still ..brother hv you anytime tried to relate quran’s words and prophet muhammad’s ( saw) sunnah ( his way of doing thing..including out daily jobs..eating sleeping drinking etc) to SCIeNCe ..do it u will have a changed opinion..

for all those who are wrongly interpreting quran…all those verses are for a situation of a war or battle…killing a non believer just for what he is ,is strictly forbidden in islam.

talking about islamic terrorism what these violent groups do IT AINT ISLAM ..dey are far away from the path of islam..just coz dey are born muslims that does not make any of der actions a part of islam…

so ppl clear ur basics before criticising a whole religion because of the action of some misleaded people..

Thank you, but we’ve already addressed this false apology many times. The Quran calls for the conquest and mistreatment of nonbelievers, who are assuredly not considered “innocents.” This very post demonstrates the abject infidelophobia of the Quran – if you disagree, you must not believe that the Quran is the Word of Allah.

We certainly can criticize an ideology that inspires millions to behave in a violent and hateful manner. What we should not do is to judge a religion based on those who do not follow it to the letter, which is what you are advocating. The fanatics of Islam would consider you to be an apostate worthy of death for your denial of lesser jihad in conquering the world in the name of Islam. This conquest has involved and continues to involve the wanton slaughter and rape of nonbelievers or “heretics,” as is occurring in far too many places to this day.

If following Islam fervently and to the letter as these millions of fundamentalists do has not made them better people, then Islam is worthless.

We have perfectly good translations from the Arabic, so we don’t need to know Arabic, but you can read the Arabic for yourself, as it is included in the side-by-side translations linked throughout this post, including in the original article.

If you actually have read the Arabic of the Koran, you should already know that these passages are there and that they mean exactly what they say in English.

Your comment is yet another false apology, the meaning of which is blatantly obvious.

Since we are drawing from the Koran, we don’t need to watch videos or use “anti-Islam” websites.

talking about the rape nd killings..which are totally unacceptable.. one major fact is that pakistan nd afghanistan bear these brutal acts more than rest of the world does…nd who are these people who suffer..99% are “believers”…the only point m trying to make is the world should understand that a terrorist is just a terrorist with no relegion…because if tht wud hv been the fact then pakistan nd afghanistan were to be the most peaceful nd safe countries in the world …so the only thing i request people is not to mix up a wrong ideology with a relegion…both are way different thngs…d day we understand tht der wont be a need for all such debates in the world..
god bless us all

sorry to say that but it seems like you are ignorant about a lot of things but simply ” say u created a robot and u gave him life and food and cloth and everything and then this robot came and thanks me( the one I did nothing to him) for all of this and really the robot suppose to thanks u .u r the one did everything to him. u created him, u made him and he was nothing , he wasn’t exist .would u be happy with this ??. I know u don’t believe in this but believe me after u ask all ur questions u going to end with one simple answer, which is it must be a beginner for all of what u see which is the creator.
thanks

and again simply u r talking about relationship between terrorism and Islam okay? answer this DR>….

Who sparked the First World War? Muslims?!
Who ignited World War II? Muslims?!
Who has killed 20 million from the same human Australian Aborigines?! Muslims?!
Who sent bombs to hit Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Muslims?! Who has killed more than 100 million Indians of the American Indians in North America? Muslims?!
Who has killed more than 50 million Indian of Indians in South America? Muslims?!
The enslavement of which about 180 million African slaves had died and about 88% of them and been thrown in the Atlantic Ocean? Muslims?!

No, they are not Muslims !!!!

before all of you that you specify the meaning of terrorism well;

If a non-Muslim has to do something wrong, then they are just a crime, but while the Muslims of committing the same mistake, then it is described to terrorism!

Therefore, you must first be a double standard and you will know who they are the real terrorists!.

And, by the way, 95% of Native Americans died from DISEASE, not being slaughtered as in Islamic jihad, which is responsible for the deaths of some 270 million human beings – and that’s not even counting Muslim-on-Muslim violence, which never ends.

Who sparked the first war America had to fight in as a free nation? Mislims that’s who. The Barbary Wars in the early 19th century started by Islamic pirates unlawfully attacking American trade ships for no reason other than following a Supremacist ideology that gives them “divine” right to do so.

Who was filling the slave ships for the American slave trade? Muslims that’s who.

Who was raiding Europe, Asia, and Africa to capture these slaves? Muslims that’s who.

Who committed the mass genocide of Hindus, and Buddhists across Asia when future caliphates did what Mohammad did by spreading the word by the sword? Muslims that’s who.

Which countries do not give any other religion or philosophy equal, and respectful treatment? Treat women as inferior to men? Lag behind in education or scientific research? Muslim countries.

What religion wants to kill anyone for apostasy? Burning a Qur’an? Is Allah so inferior that such a “truth” requires such violent reactions?

also, for the guy who said what proof we have that prophet Mohamed is a real messenger, the answer is You give me a proof that he is not a messenger sent from god or give me a proof that Jesus is son of god ? you people are good in talking that it and the truth is Muslim nation is the nation of proof. read authenticated history and see the gabs by hundreds of years in your books. get knowledge before you talk. and for you DR If u want to understand the Quran right please read more about the authenticated sunnah of the prophet Mohamed PBUH.

Amr: You raise a fair challenge. How does one prove that one religion is of God and the other is a fake, made up by a charlatan? I don’t know about you – but, if I am going to stake my eternal destiny on a book that claims to be the very word of God – it better have some serious hard evidence to support its claim. Do you agree?

The Bible contains over 2,000 fulfilled prophecies. Mohammed tried his hand at prophesy – and found he wasn’t good at it. His prophecies didn’t take place as he claimed they would. If somebody predicts 2,000 future events accurately – and he says, “I am God – and I approve this message” – I’m going to listen to him.

The Bible is validated by these 2,000 prophecies coming to pass – and the Qu’ran has no such support for itself.

Muslims acknowledge Jesus Christ as prophet. So, WHY don’t you believe him? When Jesus spoke – he NEVER contradicted the prophets of the Old Testament. He actually was the FULFILLMENT of their prophecies. When Mohammad spoke – he contradicted Jesus all the time – right down to denying his Deity! If God never changes – then God’s MESSENGERS will not contradict one another.

Jesus said he was the Son of God – and the Hebrew Scriptures said that God was sending the Jews a son – who would be born in Bethlehem (Jesus was born in Bethlehem), and raised in Nazareth (Jesus was raised in Nazareth). He would be of the House of David (Jesus was a descendent of King David). He would bear our sins and be crucified Jesus was crucified – on the exact day that was prophesied (nice trick if Mohammad could pull that one off – he was born 540 years too late!) . . . and this SON would be called “Mighty God”. Say WHAT?? “Mighty GOD”. Deuteronomy 18:18 is obviously speaking of Jesus Christ.

It is not justice to punish an innocent for millions/billions of criminals. I believe God is Just so He can not do injustice. Who will take the sins of the people who passed away before Jesus. Muhammad (PBUH) or Quran never degraded the Jesus rather the people who degraded him like some of the Christians making him son of God. God is not like human being to be a family man, in need of sons and daughters. There relationship is for we the human being. Why should God need a son, to help him? To take care when He get old? for what?? Can’t you think a little bit. Jesus never claimed he is God.

The Bible has fulfilled 2000 prophecies? Rubbish nonsense. The New Testament was a fictional narrative of “fill in the blanks” using the OT as a template.
There’s a reason why Jews do not accept Jesus as the messiah, and it’s not because they hated Him. First, Jesus never existed. Secondly, Jesus doesn’t fill one single requirement to qualify as the messiah in Judaism. Not a single one.

Then sorry, but you can’t say the Bible is true because it says it is. The future anonymous authors of the Gospels wrote the story to fit. There are even prophecies fulfilled in the NT that don’t exist anywhere in the OT.

You are “so far gone” that only divine intervention from the Lord our God and Creator of this world could ever soften your heart and make you see/know the Truth. I could get into a heated debate and go on and on for hours about why you are wrong and demonstrate (type) all of the reasons /evidence/science e.t c. that there is to back up the Bible and divine creation. But to do so would be a waste of my time. Because as I mentioned before you “my friend” are “so far gone” and darkened in your understanding. May God Almighty enlighten you and lead you down a path of truth.
John 12:40 “He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.”
2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 – “And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”
Isaiaha 44:18 “They do not know, nor do they understand, for He has smeared over their eyes so that they cannot see and their hearts so that they cannot comprehend.”

“You are “so far gone” that only divine intervention from the Lord our God and Creator of this world could ever soften your heart and make you see/know the Truth”

reminds us that the scripture you provided is clear that the blinding of eyes, hardening of hearts, strong delusion and inability to comprehend all was due to god doing that to them. So, the real question is, why is your god such an asshole?

The bible is full of discrimination and bigotry and falsehoods giving people good reason to be very skeptical about its claims, which is probably part of why people are leaving Christianity and religion in general in droves.

“The only definite account of his life and teachings is contained in the four Gospels of the New Testament, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. All other historical records of the time are silent about him. The brief mentions of Jesus in the writings of Josephus, Tacitus and Suetonius have been generally regarded as not genuine and as Christian interpolations; in Jewish writings there is no report about Jesus that has historical value. Some scholars have even gone so far as to hold that the entire Jesus story is a myth…”

– The Universal Jewish Encyclopedia

“I contend we are both atheists, I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.”

The Proof that JESUS is the Son of God is that he professied his death to his disciples (mostly the writers of the New Testament) and that he was Goin To Resurrect on the third day and even though he told them many times and they didn’t understand him ( read the new testament for yourself). After he was bury on the third say he resurrected and he show himself to his disciples and 500 other witnesses saw him. And his Disciples wrote what Jesus did after he Resurrected. They wrote what they saw with their own eyes and heard. And now Jesus gave us his followers the Promise of the Holy Spirit that’s why we now that Jesus is the messiah..

Um no. The oldest known extant copies of the Bible like the Codex Sinaiticus from the 4th century have no post Resurrection story. The Bible ends with an empty tomb. There were no 500 witnesses. There was no reunion with his Apostles. Everything written in any Bible after the discovery of the empty tomb was EVEN MORE FANTASY attached to the myth of Jesus by future fairy tale makers that felt they needed a more convincing story for the gullible masses centuries later.

I have read some of the QU’ran/ I have especially read sura 5 v.51:”Oh ye who believe,take not the Jew or the Christian as hyour friend and protector for they are ojly friends and protectors to eachother.Ye take a Jew or a Christian as your friend and protector are one of them. Yea, Allah guideth not an unjust people(dfined in sura 48 or 49, as those who do not accept both Allah and his messenger(Mohammed)–in other words a non-Moslem.)
Sura 8 v.12 ffP”(Quoting Allah)I will strike terror in the hearts of the non-believers. STrike them above the neck(in other words cut their heads off),strike of the endos of their fingers(in other words strike unbelievers so that they cannot handle a weapon)….”Bearing all this in mind, how can one not be very cautious in dealing with a Moslem?Our enomy is not ISIL, IT IS NOT AL QAEDA, IT IS THE SPIRIT AND WORDS OF mOHAMMED. aND THEY ARE ALMOST ENTIRELY HATEFUL TOWARDS NON-BELIEVERS.
as FOR oBAMA, i would like to ask him: Who do you think will have most influence on Moslems, You or Mohammmed? I do wish the Qu’ran was more prophetic in that suras 5 v.51 I cited—I wish Obama and Israel were really protectors of eachother, that Obama would stop demanding of Israel and make some demands on the Moslems too.
Above all, do not accept at face value the
“friendship”of Moslems.Not unless they repudiate the above verses fromo the Qu’ran. He calls some of them “allies”. What have they ever done for us, that we should kid ourselves about their being Allies? The endomy of our enoemy is not necessarily our friend. Be careful, Obama, very caereful!

Evil religion is created by evil-minded human beings. I prefer to go after the unfeeling ideology, not the feeling human beings. The ideology is what is motivating the flawed human beings into behaving badly. The ideology needs to be criticized, while the human beings need to be directed to better motivational programming. That’s the kinder, gentler way of dealing with these problems, rather than dismissing humanity as evil.

Ideologies don’t need to be coddled and protected. On the contrary, if they are bad – and some certainly are horrendous – they need to be ripped apart and shredded.

Great article really get’s down to the nuts and bolts of this religion. I see too many debates on tv that never ask the all important question – what do the scriptures of this religion actually say, what is the actually doctrine and is it compatible with multicultural peaceful society or not. Much obliged DM.

Can I just point out, other religions have gone through this stuff.
I’m pretty sure the church of england was doing some pretty bad things to people who didn’t follow them, and tried to keep people uneducated.
Muslims in things like ISIS and who kill people aren’t following Islam. It’s because they’re uneducated. Let me quote Confucius: “..He who thinks but does not learn is in great danger.”
These uneducated people have read the Quran, misinterpreted it, and to add on to that are being taught even worse things by terrorist organizations, or stupid people in general.
Knowledge can be dangerous sometimes.

Thanks, but we are well aware of the past of other religions such as Christianity and Judaism. The fact is that few adherents today are engaging in abominable acts en masse. On of the major reasons for the reformation of Christianity, for example, is because people like us complained about its abuses, the same as we are now doing with Islam.

To say that ISIS/ISIL is “not educated” would be fallacious. Their leader or “caliph” is a highly educated man with a PhD in Islamic studies from the University of Baghdad. He certainly knows Islamic doctrine and history very well, and, in fact, ISIL is behaving pretty much as the first Muslims under Mohammed behaved.

Here are some of the verses used by ISIL to justify its atrocities:

Others can be found in this very post.

These individuals would say that it is you and other “moderates” who are “misinterpreting” the Koran.

“Allah said, ‘A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the ransom captives would bring. ‘”
(Quran 8:67; Ishaq:327)

To all the Muslims commenting here that you have a peaceful religion…. You still have slaves, and beat them on a daily basis. Your religion is hate and anger, you teach your children hate and anger and rape them. Change and evolve with the world, or die with your religion. Simple as that. The world is evolving and will not accept your sick ways, end of story, this goes for all the zionists as well!!

I’m with you Sara! Including the zionists….excellent, they are far too often overlooked and given a pass for their freakish behavior. Most ideas from the Middle East do not resonate with civilized society. It’s been all downhill since Zoroaster!

Because of the advocation of mass murder, child molesting, slavery, ritual abuse and the abuse of women, this belief system should not be protected under the First Amendment.

Protected behavior does not include a “religion” where the deity involved mandates violation of several serious federal and state statutes. Urging followers to cut people’s heads, hands and feet off negates classification as a religion and is not protected under the First Amendment – period. If we, as a society, are willing to continue protecting statements that promote, advocate and incite child molestation, rape, kidnapping, slavery, assault & battery, murder, manslaughter and war, then we might want to rethink the whole Charlie Manson thing…

I could go on forever and this is a great dissertation topic, but facts are facts and not much else needs to be said – the proof is in the words themselves. ADVOCATING VIOLENCE DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A PROTECTED RELIGION.

You need to stop the violence in whole world first. You forgot the millions of African slaves brought in ships and perhaps 90% died on their way to here and thrown in sea. You should not forget killing of native americans. You should not forget killing of civilians in japan. You should not forget killing of million of jews in Germany. You should not forget killing of hundred of thousands of jews in Palistine. You should not forget killing of innocent kids and women by drone. Please remember all this before pointing to others. Of course those people who are killing innocent, even having Muslim names are totally wrong. They are ignorant and no link with Islam the only true religion today.

Oh, bullshit. You need to know about the millions of African slaves captured and slaughtered by MUSLIMS, still to this day. The Native Americans died mostly from disease, not slaughter, unlike Islam’s 270 million non-Muslim victims. The killing of Jews in Germany was assisted by MUSLIMS in Hitler’s army. Who killed thousands of Jews in Palestine? Muslims.

Maybe you should pay attention to the utterly evil CULT you follow like an idiot, instead of pointing fingers at everyone else. Islam is not only completely FALSE, it is the most disgusting and evil religion EVER created by men.

Muslim fanatics making claims like you do sound like total IDIOTS – you are definitely not an intelligent or educated person, and you look like a moron following such a disgusting cult.

Are you kidding me? Muslims practiced African slavery centuries before the Europeans until very recently in Sudan and Mauritania. I don’t believe in religions but at least jesus and his apostles never owned slaves. But even the Quran tells us that Muhammed had sex slaves taken as booty, 33:50, 33:52 (what your right hand possesses), and muslim men can have four wives and all the sex slaves they want, 4:3, 4:24, 23:1-6

This is going to be one of those “studies”, where 60% speaks ill of unbelievers, 78% speaks well of believers, 98% praise God’s qualities. Where the researcher is actually a doctor in an unrelated field, and the personal political views of the researcher are very skewed in favour of the war on terror. And by the time the record is set straight, a few hundred more people will be killed in drone attacks, Muslims in India will face even more racism, and the tentacles of the war on terror will teach even even further into our global institutions. Most likely, most of the people who pushed this “study”, will ignore the fact that they were part of the process or correct the disinformation itself.

What are you babbling about? The reason there even exists a war on terror is becasue to many mindless robots today choose to follow some canonical scriptures from the 7th century. Scriptures that sanction violence, murder, rape and slavery. Stop being an apologetic for muslim supremacy and violence.

Not exactly. Behind the scene are the intelegence agencies which play the real game. These train the people, teach them Quran and Hadith, and they penetrate in Islam. As they are will training they get the leadership and start playing the game. Of course some real ignorant muslims are there too.

The reason is that they are not allowed to lead their life in peace. They are always attacked and fingured. They are forced to be ruled by the west puppets. And when they react they forget the Islamic rules and take the law in their hands and then world starts shouting. Who invaded Iraq and for what. Where were the WMB, nothing right. Who created restlesness there and now the result is what you see and blame Islam. You need to go to the route cause. All satans are somewhere else who are moving their strings to activate the puppets. Theier action has no concern with Isalm

ah!!! i love how the “cut the phrase” surrahs filled the page to show how evilish is islam…

But the truth is…

Atheists are going mad seeing the fastest religion spread through the world… is it a religion of evil of killing of of??

well maybe this is why ISIS was made and ALQAIDA was made…

Get some Atheiests teach them some Dull words and misleading “egg coats” of Islam teach them A meaning of Jihad… give them a weapon and let them be very convinving to the less knowing ignorant muslims who know few of islam… and go kill OTHER MUSLIMS!!! and Christians , jews, non followers… then Make Millions of sites to show how bad islam is… and BOOM here is all the hatred…

Well i am very sorry to say that however you tried to shake the earth upon Islam, it will still be the no 1 growing religion on Earth…

Simply its been over a year Since the CIA’s ISIS was formed, and the media did its job perfectly, yet people still learn about islam and enter islam. go check how many entered islam this year you will be amazed…

To be brief: Thank you for your hatred speeches about islam and muslims, thank you for condemning my religion and making scenes (e.g ISIS) of how “bad” islam is. You have indirectly brought people to know more about islam and its nature and indirectly invited millions to the religion.

I stumbled across this site by accident and read many of the comments. You clearly believe Islam is a barbaric religion by nature. Fine. I don’t want to get into a discussion on whether u r right or whether you have taken the passages from the Koran out of context or mis-translated them. I understand why you think that and I often ask the same question when I see atrocities being committed. But I don’t understand what you are trying to achieve. Do you want people to treat all Muslims with disdain ? Do you want Muslims to be attacked ? Do you want to carry out a form of ethnic cleansing ? I don’t base my life on a book written over a thousand years ago or a man that lived over a thousand years ago. I can’t understand how an intelligent person could do that. I live according to my own conscience – I try to live with integrity and honesty, I show respect to all human beings, treat people the way I expect to be treated, I consider rape to be a vile crime. But I have a Muslim backgroun – it is part of my identity. Do you think I and many millions of people like me should be hated ?

probably the best question is being asked and it seems none has the answer. Looking forward to some scholar taking initiative to answer your queries.

Why can’t we work together as human beings and eradicate those hyeneous genes? Have faith in humanity, together we need to overcome the biggest problem we are facing now. In the entire thread all are cursing the evil deeds, that means all of us are genus Homos.

you non believer suckers are taking everything in the wrong order. we muslims know our religion as we were born as one. allah says in the quran that verily all disbelievers shall be burnt to crisp in hell and when they plead for water the angels force them to drink their sweat.on the day of judgement, the sun will close in on earth an all you non believers will melt till you are but a puddle of water. the people you actually listened to allah advise(the muslims) will sit in a shade watching you perish. verily, I shall belooking forward to that day

Muslims are always deceiving and giving a false description of islam, that “it is peace, love”, but the Quran has no text that mentions loving one’s enemies. The Quran is nothing but a rant of hatred, violence, misogyny. Every time a text of the Quran is disturbing they usually tell you the same thing, it never fails: “That text is out of context”. “It is badly translated”. “It is the wrong interpretation”. Of course they don’t say that when a text says something positive.

I find the article and postings here almost unbelievable. You seem to be telling muslims who are peaceful and believe in freedom of belief and expression that they have misinterpreted their own faith, and should actually be following the lead of ISIL or ISIS (or whatever they are called now).

Islam is a very diverse religion of many interpretations and many schools of thought. These denominations have developed over centuries. It is not just about the literal translation of koranic verses, it is also about how the spirit of Islam and its early teachings should evolve and be applied in modern times. There are people out there who have studied Islamic history and teachings all their lives and still cannot agree on an all encompassing interpretation.

Yet you have taken a few verses from the koran (the same verses I might add that hate preachers are using to get disillusioned people round to their way of thinking) and posted them on this blog claiming to reveal what Islam really is. You are using the same methods hate preachers use as a call to arms, in an attempt to vilify all muslims. Either way it is mainly muslims that are suffering (remember those men, women, children dying everyday in places like Syria, those losing all hope and dignity are muslims). You shut down all arguments by saying ‘stop being an apologetic muslim’ or ‘don’t try to use mistranslation/misinterpretation/out of context’. No one is being apologetic because this is not a mess created by muslims. And yes the misinterpretating, mistranslating and taking out of context argument is valid according to what the MAJORITY of muslims believe and practice.

If you want to know what a muslim really is, look around you. There will be many muslims you will come across everyday. What are they like ? Do they mean you any harm ? Do they look down on you because you don’t share their religious beliefs ? Are they there to impose their religion on you ? Do they really wish to live by Shariah law or do they simply want to live where they are treated with respect and can express themselves without recrimination ? I think the answers will tell you that the scare mongering on this site is nonsense and possibly has a hidden political agenda.

You are not fooling anybody around here, W. We know that there are good moderate Muslims who are not violent and many of them are our friends but, we are focusing on those who are not so, no need for these strawman arguments that always omit what so many other Muslims have stated (far more than you and others are ever willing to admit) and it’s very well documented so, it is nothing short of disingenuous on your part to omit it.

What part of these quotes do you not understand?

“About sixty-one percent of the contents of the Koran are found to speak ill of the unbelievers or call for their violent conquest; at best only 2.6 percent of the verses of the Koran are noted to show goodwill toward humanity. About seventy-five percent of Muhammad’s biography (Sira) consists of jihad waged on unbelievers.”

– Dr. Moorthy Muthuswamy

This is all wrong . We muslims do not believe in such disgraceful stuff . Just because a few groups who call themselves Muslims and thinks killing is right does not mean we are all like them. We Muslims believe that everyone is gods creation no matter if your a Muslim or a non-muslim. We treat you equal . Stop putting false wrong information into people’s mind .

Writing as a lurking bystander, I just have to say; all this hatred and vile vitriol that is pouring out of you people on this board is disgusting. The criminals calling themselves “muslims” need to be dealt with by Islamic Armies policing their religion if it truly is a “Religion of Peace”…and as for the many “fake” Christians here posting this spiteful garbage…shame on you. The doors of heaven will be closed to you if you don’t shake off this GOD DAMNABLE hatred you spew…..get on your knees and pray to JESUS that your eyes are opened and your heart and mind filled with love and understanding….because hatred and anger towards another man/woman has NEVER been a Christian virtue…that is straight out of Satan/Shaitan and you know it. Repent, pray, forgive and stop thus fighting.

So to sum it all up:
1. Islam, is a religion that has been around for over a thousand years.
2. Their Prophet is an uneducated child molester, rapist, murderer, Liar and thief.
3. Islam is responsible for a significant amount of horrific violence, death and destruction both in the past and present.
4. They are the fastest growing religion because of child births or (believe or die method of spreading the religion)
5. Islam has many different denominations and levels of belief.
6. Dependent on what the Muslim was brain washed to believe, they can be very peaceful or murderous savages. Since the Quran gives space for both to exist.
7. Because the Quran can be interpreted with such a wide girth, a Muslim can change from being peaceful to become a killer simply by altering the way he interprets the Quran. I believe the term is (radicalized).
8. They have a mission from their prophet to spread Islam all over the globe and kill anyone who stands in their way. (Kill the unbeliever)
9. They have permission from their prophet to us any method to accomplish this goal including, forced coercion, lying, cheating, stealing, killing, suicide, rape and the list goes on.

Well, since we know what their plan is and has been for a very long time, why should we believe anyone that says “Islam is a peaceful religion” when history shows the opposite? Especially since lying to further the religion is allowed by Islam’s Prophet.
I’m a logical person!
If someone says to me believe or die, I’m going to shoot that person squarely in the head with my Glock. Regardless of my religious beliefs, I have to right to defend myself. So the real question is:
How do I determine whether or not a Muslim is peaceful or not?

It’s impossible to determine! There is not a post-it note on a Muslim’s head that says. Don’t worry, I won’t chop off your head!

All I know is that the religion of Islam can condone my execution by its believers. Whether they start out peaceful or not.

It would be foolish for any Muslim to expect non-believers to have enough patience, tolerance or time to put into trying to separate the peaceful Muslim from the violent Muslim, since the peaceful Muslims just run away when confronted by Violent Muslim’s instead of standing up for their peaceful version of Islam. I suggest the peaceful Muslim’s Jihad against the violent ones to show the world that Islam can be a respectable religion. A religion that governs its own believers has a better chance of being seen as a civilized belief system.

So unfortunately, the only course we “non-believers” can take is to go to WAR since there is no way on God’s green earth we’re going to convert to the perverted teaching of an ignorant murderer.

wow brother chill out no ones goin to chop your head off coz you are non-believer lol. I really dont know how u sum up those pointers and why for Islam. dont brush all with same paint, i mean ISIS is not Islam and Muslims of rest of the world are NOT responsible for the actions of ISIS. it is like saying that because of NAZIs all christians are NAZIs.
Terrorists have no religion period. Do you know that Afghanistan and Pakistan (both muslim countries) are in state of WAR against ISIS for past 8 months. Do you know that there are major causalities because of sucide bombings from ISIS in Turkey, Saudi Arab (news been blocked), Bangladesh (all muslims countries) more than causalities happened in western countries because of ISIS. So ISIS have no religion no terrorist group have any religion coz all religion in world encourage peace.
If you are mad because of western causalities of so called islamic terrorists…… then brother please get your counts and check so far death count of muslims are higher than non-believers.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Islamist_terrorist_attacks
funny? yeah. they (bbc/cnn or other western media) will never tell u that WHY? brother its their own negative propagation just to have a reason to attack countries which have OIL conspiracy theory? heres my little answer to that read ithttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Cyclone
Al Qaida was created and financed by CIA 😀 not by Islam or muslims lol…….. also you will know soon that ISIS is backed up by American administration.
I sincerely appologise if i hurt your feeling as i have no issue with you or any of fellow Americans infact majority of my social friends are from America, but i hate the foreign policy of America as they love to do stuff like this for their own benefit. Afghan war reason USSR, Iraq war reason OIL, Libya murder of Gaddafi and then infiltrate Syria to rise ISIS for OIL, lies? there are materials on internet search and see for yourself.
and lastly USA administration will not rise a finger on Saudia Arab never ever what ever Saudis do reason? USA and Saudi government have a deal that they will sale their OIL in US Dollar as being the largest trader of OIL so that currency demand of US Dollar never will fall globaly (that happend during era of President Reagan and assination of King Faisal was done to complete the deal)
so what I sum up is…….. in reality neck of Muslims are in stake but media and bloggers like these are showing opposite 🙂
SUGGESTION: You really need to study and research about Islam so that all your points would be cleared (by doing so u will not become muslim seriously 😀 unless u accept religion from heart). your summing points are really way out of context you really dont know anything about Islam.
Be well brother and hope we can rid all of these terrorists asap and live in peace for sake of our coming generation.
GL

I think….we had best start ramping up the immigration policy in the USA, the way it should have been done decades ago, and really be a little less PC and a lot more SERIOUS about who we let in.
At the same time, dont necessarily kick out those Muslims who are already there, BUT….watch em like a hawk. F**K whether or not it’s politically incorrect—–just do it.

And when someone of that “faith” slips and pulls some shit, then BZINGA —- death penalty, “do not pass go, do not collect $200”.

Those who can blend in —if that even is possible —- then, GREAT, but no, you dont get Park Place as a reward.
Honestly, it’s the fckin’ naivete of Americans and Canadians that will allow the radicalized Muslim to succeed. You think they would try that shit w/ China or even in India ? China would come back at ’em so hard there would be nothing left of them. Europeans, sapsuckers that they r, have given in and already they r overwhelmed.
We should not be scared, we should just not be STUPID. Also, we should not discount all those Muslims who are truly good, as doing so would be unforgivable.

Islam is the religion of Peace. The word “Islam” in Arabic means “in Peace”. The Quran provides instructions to mankind on all important issues. Fight between truth and falsehood being a major issue. So many people find opportunities to pick these verses out of context and present half quoted things.

By raising controversy around this people do the exact same thing which they allege the Muslims to do, i.e they are violent and aggressive towards Islam.

The following page provides detailed explanations for each of these verses with logic and rationalism and a wish for Peace and understanding.

“islam is the religion of Peace. The word “Islam” in Arabic means “in Peace”.” What drugs are you on or did someone drop you on the head. If you are indeed mentally challenged, forgive me. Islam is SETUP to appear to be a religion of peace but was founded by a bloodthirsty murderer, rapist and sadist who uses the word peace like a sadistic gleeful killer. The words islam and peace are in no way synonymous. Any human being who straps bombs to their children to become martyrs is below a dog.. is no longer human.

I’m not Muslim but some of these are horribly out of context. The quotes are correct but the text before and after also says to those attacking you, and that if they retreat or stop attacking then you will stop, and also that you may only be the defender never the aggressor and may only retaliate with the force used against you.

I love how people like you advocate against hatred when you hold so much hate in your hate. Very hypocritical. In fact, you hold so much hate that you go out of your way to take verses from the Quran out of context. Repeat “out of context”. http://www.islamforpeace.org/quran.htm. This website explains the verses perfectly. But, I dont know if it’ll do much for a person who is keen on finding evil and hate in everything.

“out of context”? blah, blah, blah. I’ll repeat a few quotes from above:

Sir the versus of quran is not so easy to to understand,kafir is called unbeliver ri8 , who is unbeliver the one who Dont no him self , Quran says the idols which kept in us like hate, anger,Unkind, these or the idols has to kill An destroy. The meanings in the quran not so easy to understand. There is lot of meanings comes in from 1 sentence of the quran.

Quran, which Muslims believe to be the verbatim word of Allah, God Almighty, extends glad tidings to all good servants of Him among Jewish and the Christian communities for their devout practices. There isn’t any saying attributed to Prophet Muhammad which condemns non Muslims who wouldn’t commit the sin of worshipping others besides the One true God to Hell which is a point to be noted. Rather there are increasingly multiple references in Quran which confirm otherwise fair principles of Justice for Faith in one God. Also, the Quran far from condemning Jews and Christians to hell encourages them to upgrade their belief through this new revelation carried by Angel Gabriel. Whenever the Quran curses its sinners it also praises people among the Jews and Christians for guarding Faith, as pointed out in Quran 3.113 to 115.

This is a short article to introduce the subject to fellow Christians. The Holy Quran says about them: And thou shalt assuredly find those who say, ‘We are Christians,’ to be the nearest of them in love to the believers. That is because amongst them are savants and monks and because they are not proud. (Al Quran 5:83)

“Illiterate himself, scarcely able to read or write, he was yet the author of a book which is a poem, a code of laws, a Book of Common Prayer, and a Bible in one, and is reverenced to this day by a sixth of the whole human race as a miracle of purity of style, of wisdom, and of truth. It was the one miracle claimed by Mohammed—his ‘standing miracle’ he called it; and a miracle indeed it is.”[1] Reginald Bosworth Smith
In the 21st century residents of a European country, namely the Swiss voters have backed a ban on building any more mosques with minarets in their country. The Holy Quran, revealed in the desert of Arabia in the seventh century stated that the purpose of defensive warfare is to preserve the sanctity of cloisters, churches, synagogues and mosques. The Quran named the place of worship of the Muslims as the last on this sacred list.[2] Is the Quran a miracle or not?

Religious tolerance is not the only teaching wherein the Holy Quran excels all other secular books or religious scriptures. Since 1982 half a million people have died in USA alone in alcohol related traffic accidents, to name only one problem from alcohol.[3] The Holy Quran emphatically forbade alcohol, saving the believers from this mother of many evils. Is it a miracle or not?

Sir Godfrey Higgins wrote, “By the law of Mohamed all games of chance were expressly prohibited: the beneficial tendency of this law surely no one will deny. He is refused all merit for his morality, because it is said that he only copied it from the Bible. I have not observed the prohibition of this vice either in the Decalogue or the gospels.”[4] Fifteen million people now display some sign of gambling addiction in USA, and inflict themselves and the society with pain. The Holy Quran nipped the evil in the bud. Is it a miracle or not?

“Mohamedism is reproached with copying its morality from the gospel;” Sir Godfrey Higgins wrote in the defence of the Prophet, “a philosopher, perhaps, may suspect that when the prophet was availing himself of the excellent moral precepts of Christianism, he had sense, not only to take the good, but to leave the evil; to adopt the morality, but to avoid the hired priesthood which, in his day, had filled the world with bloodshed and misery, and was rapidly reducing it to a state of the most debasing ignorance.”[5] The Holy Quran forbade monasticism in clear terms.[6] Fourteen hundred years later the Catholic Church is following suit in their negotiation with the Anglican Church.[7][8] Every time we contrast the Holy Quran with the Bible, the Quran comes out ahead. Is it a miracle or not?

The Quran was revealed in a seventh century tribal society yet it has 800 verses stressing the study of nature. Is it a miracle or not? It anticipates both the Big Bang and the fact that all living things require and contain water, in the same verse, “Do not the disbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were a closed-up mass, then We opened them out? And We made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?”[9] Is it a miracle or not? Read on and in the words of Francis Bacon, “Read not to contradict … but to weigh and consider.”

The Quran was revealed in a society where very few people could read or write, yet its text has been preserved for more than 14 centuries. Such a claim cannot be made for the Bible. These facts are examined in a companion article, Compilation of the Holy Qur’an into a text. Is it a miracle or not?
The Quran issued a historic challenge not only to the contemporaries of the Prophet but also to men in all ages; “Were all of mankind to come together and wish to produce the like of the Qur’an, they would never succeed, however much they aided each other.”[10] The challenge remains unmet 14 centuries after its issuance. People can come out with negativity and start criticizing the Holy Quran on one or the other ground. But that is their wishful thinking and paranoia and not any real scholarship. The fact and the ground reality remains that this challenge of the Holy Quran has been out there and no writer has tried to take up the challenge, in a manner, that will stand the test of time. A book attributed to an untaught person and yet no one dares take up the challenge! Professor Laura Vaglieri, who served as professor of Arabic and Islamic Culture at the Naples Eastern University, wrote: “Although the opponents of Islam were invited by Muhammad to compose a book similar to his own, or, at least, a chapter (‘And if you are in doubt as to what We have sent down to Our servant, then produce a chapter like it;’), and although those who had the ability to express themselves with great eloquence were plentiful among the Arabs, yet nobody was able to produce anything which could stand comparison with the Quran; they fought the Prophet with arms but failed to match the excellence of the Quran.” [11] Is it a miracle or not?

Let me here quote from the experience of German philosopher Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. He said, “As often as we approach the Quran, it always proves repulsive anew; gradually, however, it attracts, it astonishes, and, in the end forces admiration.”[12][13] Professor Laura Vaccia Vaglieri explains: “The miracle of Islam par excellence is the Quran, through which a constant and unbroken tradition transmits to us news of an absolute certainty. This is a book which cannot be imitated. Each of its expressions is a comprehensive one, and yet it is of proper size, neither too long nor too short. Its style is original. There is no model for this style in Arab literature of the times, preceding it. The effect which it produces on the human soul is obtained without any adventitious aid through its own inherent excellences. The verses are equally eloquent all through the text, even when they deal with topics, such as commandments and prohibitions, which must necessarily affect its tone. Stories of Prophets, descriptions of the beginning and the end of the world, enumerations and expositions of the divine attributes are repeated but repeated in a way which is so impressive that they do not weaken the effect. The text proceeds from one topic to another without losing its power. Depth and sweetness, qualities which generally do not go together, are found together here, where each rhetoric figure finds a perfect application. How could this marvellous book be the work of Muhammad, an illiterate Arab who in all his life composed only two or three verses, none of which reveals the least poetic quality?” [14] Is it a miracle or not?

Bernard Shaw who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1925, said, “I have always held the religion of Muhammad in highest esteem because of its wonderful vitality. It is the only religion which appears to me to possess that assimilating capability to the changing phases of existence which can make it appeal to every age. I have prophesied about the faith of Muhammad, that it would be acceptable to the Europe of tomorrow as it is beginning to be acceptable to the Europe of today.”[15] Is it a miracle or not?

Laura Vaccia Vaglieri, professor at the University of Naples, has further to say: “For the book, besides its perfection in form and method, proved itself beyond irritation even in its substance. In it, among other things, we read a forecast of future events, and a description of events which had taken place centuries before but were generally ignored. There are frequent references to the laws of nature, to various sciences, both religious and secular. We find there vast stores of knowledge which are beyond the capacity of the most intelligent of men, the greatest of philosophers and the ablest of politicians. For all these reasons the Quran could not be the work of an uneducated man, who had spent all his life in the midst of an unrefined society far away from men of learning and religion, a man who always insisted that he was but a man just like any others, and, as such, unable to perform miracles unless he had the help of Almighty God. The Quran could have its source only in Him Whose knowledge comprehends everything in heaven and earth.”[16] Is it a miracle or not?

I invite the Christian readers in the words of Reginald Bosworth Smith, “To discriminate between the accidental and the essential, the transitory and the eternal; above all, constantly to turn the mirror in upon oneself, and to try to make sure that one is complying with that great principle of Christianity of judging and of treating others as we should wish ourselves to be judged and treated;” that is the recipe to judge affairs in a fair and unbiased manner.[17] The Holy Quran says, regarding limitless knowledge and insights contained in the scripture, “Say, ‘If every ocean becomes ink for the words of my Lord, surely, the ocean would be exhausted before the words of my Lord were exhausted, even though We brought the like thereof as further help.’”[18] This is what Goethe was experiencing after repeatedly reading the Holy Quran.

Is it god’s word never these are satanic verses.If the world created god how he say to kill his generations. Islamic followers are pagans and barbarians.dont’follow Islam follow humanism.Quran is a barbarian cultured text

All religious scholars debating here reading books with hatred in mind….Remember everyone ” There is no compulsion in religion ” means you are free to practice what you believe, but be intelligent enough to practice the true faith…..don’t judge any religion by the acts of few black sheeps in every community….do not say bad about other religion or what they believe… Remember, when you were in your mothers womb helpless there under development,your even mother was helpless to know about your feeding and your creation. The creator was taking care of you there… HE brings you in this vast universe and when you gather your senses you doubt HIM.
Nobody has the right to judge anybody or anyone’s faith… we are just an atom in these Universe.
So stop discriminating each other.
GOD has given you free will to understand what is right and what is wrong.
Follow the truth and stay away from false.
May GOD bless you all with the best of understanding to understand your creator in HIS pure form.

Whoever reacts to this message in wrong way will show his own ignorance to others.

The problem with the United States of America and it’s allies is another vile religion has corrupted their hearts and it’s called POLITICAL CORRECTNESS!

This religion has taught them that Christianity, and Judaism are just the same as all the other eastern religions and that Atheism is the true belief structure. The Atheists are equivalent to the Muslim faith because their only demand is to be right and faith believers are wrong.

Just take a look at all the television, radio, and internet medium that mocks and ridicules God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit on a 24/7-365 basis.

These same blasphemers wouldn’t do this with the Muslim believers because we’ve seen how they would react and the PC worshipers are too frightened of retaliation.

Jesus is the prince of peace and said “Turn the other cheek.” So the PC crowd would use this to their advantage. It’s like a bully harassing a passive student only to have an even bigger bully upstarting a fight with the first bully.

I almost forgot to mention that Christianity isn’t a religion but a fact; religion is a belief system based on practices and rituals passed down from centuries ago where as God and spirituality are true fact. Jesus Christ even said that his father in heaven (Jehovah) claimed
religion as an abomination and destroyer to all those who keep the faith.

Sorry for interruption, But whoever does believe in Allah and Muhammad is Called Muslim, Whoever Believe in One GOD and Jesus is christian, Whoever believe in one GOD and Moses law is jews.
Lets see we believe in God or not. Profets Loved all peoples even enemies,thats why they forgive them and helped under God command. We do not forgive as them. They did not have any attraction to earthly matter. We have attraction, We put money/land/girls over God but they did not. We put ourself over God, they did not. We work as our wish, they did not.
How can we say that we follow the law of GOD? If we do not follow profets, how can we say we are muslim/christian or other?
If we are religious only in our own eye but not in the eye of God, we are not religios, we are evil and will not go to heaven.
Even we say that its impossible for us to get rid of earthly attraction. But God say we can, so we are telling God a lier. WE OBVIOUSLY A EVIL IN A MASK.

The other day, I ran into a group of middle-aged people who were wearing T-shirts and baseball caps written on it “infidel” in both English and Arabic. Since Arabic is my native tongue, I took a quick note of it and I feel I should clear up the misconceptions and misunderstandings about the use of the term “infidel.” as well as the word “Allah.”

Myth # 1: Infidel does not mean “Westerner” or a “non Muslim”. The term refers to disbeliever, people who do not believe in God. It is also mentioned in the Bible and it means the same in Arabic.

Myth # 2: People who think using the term is a clever way to insult Muslims are in fact making fools of themselves by declaring themselves to be atheists and enemies of their own God.

Christians and Jews are referred to in the Quran as “people of the book” and are respected branches of Abrahamic religions. This means they all worship the God of Abraham.

Myth # 3: Muslims worship only God that they refer to in Arabic as Allah. Because of language differences, God is referred to by different names, but they are one and the same. In German, God is called Gott and Jews call him Yahweh. I should note here that Jews and Christians living in Arabia use the Arabic phrase “Allah” when referring to God.

Prior to Islam, Christians used the term infidels to describe unbelievers and enemies of God. Once again, the name God is Allah in Arabic and Yahweh in Hebrew. Next time someone pokes fun of the name “Allah” or misuses the term “infidels”, tell them, “Don’t be a fool, Allah means God and infidel means unbeliever.”

“Whoever killed a person… it shall be as if he had killed all mankind” – Al Quran (5:35)
“None of you is a believer unless he loves for his brother what he loves for himself: – Prophet Muhammad
“Whenever you give your word, say the truth” – Al Quran (6:152)
“Be merciful to those on earth, the One above the heaven will mercy upon you” – Prophet Muhammad

I shall request you not lie on any religion or make misconceptions. At least read from yourself and search what is true. Do not spread hate among mankind, we live in the same world.

Thus you will see ignorance from such people who cannot see the truth, and when they do, they try to hide it and pervert it to other. Thank you for making such a misleading and terrible post that has allowed people to do their own research and discover that these quotes you are “quoting” are not from the Quran and lack context by which it is presented. Without explanation anything can be taken the incorrect way and you all have done a great job of picking and choosing single phrases and sentences that are capable of fitting your agenda.

Malcolm X … it is obvious you did not even read this blog as the citations are accurate and are from the Koran so, lying about it here only confirms your utter dishonesty; who are you trying to fool?

Karl’s quote from above:

What part of these quotes do you not understand?

“About sixty-one percent of the contents of the Koran are found to speak ill of the unbelievers or call for their violent conquest; at best only 2.6 percent of the verses of the Koran are noted to show goodwill toward humanity. About seventy-five percent of Muhammad’s biography (Sira) consists of jihad waged on unbelievers.”

– Dr. Moorthy Muthuswamy

Quotes from Muslims:

“We are not here to adopt Western values, we are here to colonize the U.S. (and Canada) and spread Islamic sharia law… Canada has one of the easiest legal systems to penetrate and advance sharia from within … but if that doesn’t work, we won’t hesitate to use violent jihad.” “It should be us, with our understanding of Islam, our principles, colonizing positively the United States of America.”
– Tariq Ramadan, Professor of Islamic Studies at Oxford University

“Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth.”
– Omar M. Ahmad, founder of Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR)

“I want to see the U.S. become an Islamic nation.”
– Ibrahim Hooper, CAIR Spokesperson

“Ultimately, we (Muslims) can never be full citizens of this country … because there is no way we can be fully committed to the institutions and ideologies of this country”
– Ihsan Bagby, CAIR

“No we don’t want to democratize Islam, we want to Islamize democracy” “We love you, America – and we want your children for Islam”
– Islam on Capitol Hill. com

“The 9/11 hijackers should be honored as martyrs.”
– Warith Deen Umar, Former Muslim Chaplain, New York Prisons

“Muslims cannot accept the legitimacy of the secular system in the United States, for it “is against the orders and ordainments of Allah”
– Imam Zaid Shakir, Former Muslim Chaplain at Yale University

“Greater integration between Islam and the West depends on incorporation of Sharia law into the legal systems of Europe and the U.S.”
– Ground Zero Mosque Imam Faisal Abdul Rauf

“I am a traitor to America because my religion requires me to be. We pledge to wage jihad for the rest of our lives until either we implant Islam all over the world or meet our Lord as bearers of Islam.”
– Samir Khan

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT ACHARYA S/D.M. MURDOCK

"Previously I have interviewed Frank Zindler, Richard Carrier, David Fitzgerald and Robert Price, all of whom are ‘mythicists'; they don’t think there was ever anyone alive whom we could recognize as either Jesus or Moses. Of the lot of them, I would have thought that Price was the foremost expert, but he referred me to D.M. Murdock, also known as Acharya S, author of Did Moses Exist? The Myth of the Israelite Lawgiver, an impressive piece of work. It’s definitive.” —Aron Ra, president, American Atheists-TX

consideration.” —Dr. Kenneth L. Feder, Professor of Archaeology, Central Connecticut State University, Frauds, Myths, and Mysteries: Science and Pseudoscience In Archaeology

Schoch, Professor of Natural Science College of General Studies at Boston University; Author, Pyramid Quest, Voyages of the Pyramid Builders and Voices of the Rocks

Murdock’s Who Was Jesus? had been available to me.” —Bob Semes, Retired university professor of History and Religion, Founder and Executive Director of The Jefferson Center

“In addition to presenting in Suns of God the troubling history of religious wars in an easily followed narrative, Acharya goes a step further, explaining as only she can how a once-simplistic idea has been carried into our modern world with terrible and nearly unimaginable results.” —Rev. Dr. W. Sumner Davis, Fellow, Royal Astronomical Society; Member, American Geophysical Union; Affiliate, New York Academy of Science

“Acharya S is a shining light of truth in a sea of deceit.” —Rob McConnell, X Zone Radio/TV, Ontario, Canada

“Having known Acharya for quite some time, and although our life’s paths have diverged, she is never far from mind, and all thoughts are positive. She is a solid driving force for all things wise, good and useful that make this earth a tad bit better. We could use millions more like her.” —Robert W.Morgan
